And in that moment, I swear we were infinite.

“So, this is my life. And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be.” ‎The Perks of Being A Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky is my absolute favorite book. I read it for the first time during my Junior year of high school, and it’s just one of those books that you never want to put down. It is the one and only book I brought with me to college, and I find myself reading it quite often; it has become a piece of me. The book captures the anxieties of high school and life in general, and so many of the things that Charlie experiences are parallel to my own experiences. It's really about being alive and embracing every moment of life, despite any and all hardships. With every page, I come to a realization or conclusion about something new in my own life. This book inspires me, gives me hope, and makes me feel like I can conquer anything life throws at me. I think anyone who hasn’t read it is missing out on a huge part of life, seriously. Every single line is pure genius. “Even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there.” Now that is a quote to live by. I could not possibly be more excited that this book is being made into a movie. And let's not forget that it basically has the best cast possible, starring Logan Lerman and Emma Watson. It's gonna be magical. Logan Lerman will make a perfect Charlie. I have honestly watched the trailer about 10 times in the past hour, and I can't get enough of it. It makes me wanna cry for some reason; not out of sadness, and not quite happiness, but a feeling I can't really put into words. I can't wait.

What is your favorite book and has it been made into a movie? If so, do you think the movie did the book justice?

(Update: I have now watched The Perks of Being a Wallflower three times and it is hands down my favorite film ever. Stephen Chbosky did an unbelievable job of directing and producing it, and I definitely bawled my eyes out when I watched it in theaters for the first time. Everything was absolutely flawless, I can't even put it into words.)
